Job Description:

A leading telecommunications organization is building a new automation infrastructure to support lab‑based product testing. The team needs experienced Python Automation Engineers who can design automation frameworks from scratch, integrate with RF/network test equipment, and translate complex test cases into scalable automated test suites. This is a highly technical, hands‑on automation role focused on Python and lab instrumentation.

Job Responsibility:

  • Develop Python‑based automation frameworks to control and coordinate lab instruments such as spectrum analyzers, signal generators, traffic generators, oscilloscopes, meters, and other RF/network equipment
  • Write automated test suites for functional, performance, RF, and system validation
  • Integrate with instrument APIs, SCPI command sets, VISA libraries, and vendor‑specific SDKs
  • Build internal tools for test orchestration, data collection, logging, and automated reporting
  • Translate engineering test requirements into executable Python automation workflows
  • Support lab setup, equipment integration, and ongoing enhancements to the automation infrastructure
  • Troubleshoot automation failures, communication issues, and inconsistencies in lab test environments
  • Contribute to CI/CD pipelines for automated regression and continuous validation
  • Ensure adherence to lab safety, calibration requirements, and quality standards

Requirements:

  • Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or a related technical field
  • 5+ years of experience using Python specifically for test automation (not general application development)
  • Hands‑on experience with PyTest and Python automation libraries (PyVISA, pySerial, asyncio, pandas)
  • Strong experience working with RF and networking lab equipment including: Spectrum analyzers
  • Signal generators
  • Traffic generators (e.g., IXIA, Spirent)
  • Oscilloscopes, meters, protocol analyzers
  • Solid understanding of SCPI, VISA, TCP/IP, serial communication, and instrument control
  • Experience with Linux, shell scripting, and Git workflows
  • Ability to interpret test plans, understand RF measurements, and convert test cases into automated scripts

Nice to have:

  • Experience with LLM‑based automation or agentic workflows
  • Background in building Python automation frameworks from scratch in lab environments
What we offer:
  • medical
  • vision
  • dental
  • life and disability insurance
  • 401(k) plan
